Is Venezuela on the Brink of Revolution?

Tension in Venezuela is running high after a government-controlled electoral authority declared Nicolás Maduro the winner of the presidential election and handed him a third consecutive term in office.

Not only has the election been described as "undemocratic" by independent observers, but the result announced by the National Electoral Council (CNE) has also been dismissed as fraudulent by the opposition.

Want to hear a real ad about PIA?
In Bangladesh, a couple days ago. During the revolution and protests, the government shut off facebook and messenger., The only proper way I was able to communicate with my brother who is in another country was by using PIA.
My brother shared his password for a account, now me and all the devices of my parents have PIA in them.

Yeah. Legit.

Unfortunately it becomes extremely difficult if not impossible for people to counter a government without guns or rights from an indifferent government

I never advocate violence, but I agree... the people of Venezuela can only be pushed so far before they revolt and remove Meduro by force.

This is basically what a modern 'dark age' would look like.

My gf is Colombian and she was watching the elections and was really excited.
I texted her back “election”
And told it was rigged for maduro. LaTam elections are so predictable

It's always interesting to see these dictators that have so much ego, but no pride in their country. Who the hell wants their legacy to be an utter sh*tshow.

I've been following this for a while and I have to say this is the most comprehensive dive into Maduro's Venezuela I've seen. There are things in here I didn't even know about, even as someone that has been to Venezuela just this year and speaks to Venezuelans daily. I mean I was hearing about updates to the election and Maduro's response hours, even a day before any news outlet was talking about said things

Country on a brink of revolution!

Me: Again? That's second time this month!

"Oh no, " said Harold.
"Here we go again, " said George.

Worst part about the shortages, Maduro refused to allow the delivery of aid

Invalid elections?

Excellent video. I will only mention a few details that are wrong:

• Guaidó was not a presidential candidate. He was the president of the Legislative Branch. His consideration as Interim President was due to the fact that, as such, he is the constitutional successor to be Interim President when the president and his vice president are unfit for the position.
• In 2019, Maduro ran in the elections almost as a single candidate. The opposition parties were completely blocked and only "cardboard candidates" could stand. What we call here "Scorpions" (members of the opposition with businesses and ties with Maduro).
• What in 2019 made Guaidó proclaim himself as President in Charge, was that the constitution calls for the president to appear on January 3 before the legislative branch to present State of the Nation Address and in election years, be sworn in. Maduro decided to ignore this and go to his Constituent Assembly. Leaving him in contempt of the constitution.
• In 2024, support for María Corina Machado was not so unitary. The Venezuelan opposition parties are very "old-fashioned" social groups of cronies who even have personal histories and ties with Chavismo. Political enemies, but who, in the end, are quite close. That is why the persecution of opposition (Leader) focuses on younger members or relatively new parties.
• María Corina in her history as a politician was despised by the old elite of the opposition for being very, "radical" (she called Chávez, for example, a thief to his face). This is because "it broke with the ecosystem." Apart from all this, the old opposition feared the figure of Chavez and is currently still trying to maintain bridges with Chavismo.
• Maria Corina won the leadership because of the primaries, not with the favor of the old parties, but in spite of them. And they even tried to sabotage her. But in the end, María Corina prevailed as the victor, with 92% in the opposition primaries and unifying the old opposition parties, basically under penalty of political death. As happened with the former primary candidate Carlos Posperi, who came in second place, and did not want the leadership of Maria Corina, ended up declaring himself a Chavista and campaigning for Maduro.
• Maduro really believed he would win. Not only because of the pressure against Maria, but in truth he believed that, with the "minimal" economic improvement and a revitalization of his image on social, he was going to boost a vote in his favor. His own ego prevented him from seeing the obvious. They lost by 35 points.
• Finally: They were not polls outside the polling stations. In Venezuelan elections, the candidate parties have the right to have witnesses inside the voting centers, one for each table/machine if they want, and at the end of the day, the voting machine of that center, issues a record of the vote counts... How many people voted, how many for "x", how many for "y". Every witness is entitled to a copy of this record (signed by the present members of the CNE and by the witnesses of the other parties). What Maria Corina did was to set up the social operation of having witnesses in each and every one of the voting tables, and with the help of the military (who assist the voting as logistical), scan and send those record to a centralized point, where they were published. That is, the results that were made public are not the products of a survey, but of the electoral system itself. That is why when the international community asks for "Results", it is asking the CNE to release the record that they also have, and compare them with those collected by the opposition logistics.

I forget who said it but the quote "When peaceful revolution becomes impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable" seems to be widely ignored

Freedom is when you have nothing left to lose!

I personally think Machado is not good for Venezuela, at all
That bejng said I can't believe there's people out there thinking maduro is the good guy and all this is American propaganda...
